st184 sillycar Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	Re: V8Supercars Tue, 31 August 2004 05:30 The Commode V8SC engine hasn't been in a Holden road car since the 70's, and hasn't been produced globally since 1998 (I think) when the last of GM's products went GenIII. The Foulcan roadie hasn't run a live rear axle since AU died (thankfully) in 2002, commode since 1996 when VT landed. Yet all V8SC's run an ancient Ford 9-inch diff, coz it's indestructable and easy to police. I know all of this. I don't care that the only parts common to the road cars are the body panels. Even the floor pan and firewall are butchered nearly beyond recognition. Few people who give a stuff about the category know or care what's under the skin. Even fewer want the parade being rained on by Toyota or Mitsubishi. I also doubt there's many Mitsu-yota buyers who really care whether or not they see their bodyshell racing in front of the Bogans once a month. The sport is what it is. Holden + Ford won't let Toys or Mits in, because they've got WAY too much invested in the category to let it be damaged by either some half-assed effort, or giving away too many technical freedoms and getting in another parity war. I'm happy to accept the racing for what it is, and regardless of what makes the cars tick, they're still mightily impressive at 170km/h over a blind crest when you're standing Five metres from the car. -which reminds me - gotta stay sober one morning so I cn drive down the mountain and stand on the outside of the chase for a while..... . . mmmmmm.....300km/h kink........aahhhh....
